sunday evening news


he’s gonna be a millionaire
simply by breaking the law


revenge is a powerful tool
especially when used by a fool
releasing the attack dog
after the subject’s surrender

or a person of color


it’s come down to
simple math
living here in these
united states
where no county or
city or town is safe
the simple equation
boiling down
to a matter of mere time
where one fine day
I’ll be walking freely
through a quiet neighborhood
only to be gunned down
as if I was some sort
of wanted man
or a person of color
